Drying Cycles Explained

The cycles in the Aerosmart dryer have been designed to complement those on the
Aquasmart washer. This provides continuity for the consumer, enabling them to use the
same cycle for their load in both the washer and the dryer. The way in which items are
dried is dependent upon the type of fabric type that is selected.
REGULAR: This cycle is programmed to dry a mixture of items, towels, shirts,
pants etc. When it senses the load as nearly dry it provides a further fixed drying
time based on the size of the load
BED SHEETS: This cycle has been designed to complement the AquaSmart
SHEETS cycle. This autosensing high heat cycle has Wrinkle Free automatically
selected to reduce wrinkles and ensure the best result possible for cotton and poly
cotton sheets.
HEAVY: Because of the water holding nature of heavy fabrics and denim, moisture
gets trapped inside the thick seams and takes time to remove. Even though the
surface dries the inner fabric still contains moisture. The sensor module is
programmed to allow for more time for the moisture to be drawn out. Once it
senses the clothes load is nearly dry it continues to dry for a fixed time to dry the
bulky seams.
DELICATE: The calculation of dryness assumes that once the surfaces of the
garments are dry, the garments are dry. Underwear or delicate cotton items will
sometimes under-dry. The cycle has been designed in this way to guard against
over-drying and ensure that delicate items are safely cared for.
EASY IRON: Like the Casual cycle, Easy Iron uses moderate heat, but the Wrinkle
Free option is also automatically selected for this cycle. At the completion of the
cycle the drum will continue to rotate periodically (without using any heat) until the
user returns to remove their clothes. This reduces the chance of creases and
wrinkles forming in the load – especially if you're not sure when you will be able to
return to remove clothes once the cycle finishes.
CASUAL: When AeroSmart dries these clothes it uses a moderate heat. The
assumption made is that there are no heavy items in the load such as towels. The
time allowed at the end of the cycle is similar to the Regular cycle.
BULKY: Bulky items can be very tricky to wash and dry. That is why we have
developed 6 special Bulky cycle options – Comforter, Blanket, Jacket, Pillows,
Throw, Sleeping Bag.
AIR DRY: Does not use auto sensing, timed dry only. 3 time options. Not heat.
